KOBO eReaders. In a few weeks, a few classes in 7th grade will pilot a new 'eReader program. This means that many of you will be given your own eReader to use and take home. I need to preload all these eReaders with the best novels for 7th graders. Please state in a comment a 'must have' book that you believe should be on the eReader. Only choose the very best of the best you have read. eReaders once I get the BEST books loaded on them... approx 100+
Enjoy Ibby's slam poem...Nice attitude!
A good book could be the Giver, the Hunger Games, and the Divergent series
ReplyDeleteThanks Nathan +1

ReplyDelete1. Divergent
2. The Giver
3. The Fault in our Stars
4. Girl Missing
The sentence things make so much sense to me now! These extra practices are so helpful. The realistic fiction social issues is really fun!

ReplyDeleteRoll of Thunder Hear my cry
A Mango Shaped Space
Pictures of Hollis Woods
Lord of the Flies
What the Moon Saw
Dairy Queen

2. The People of Sparks
3. The Prophet of Yonwood

I spelled recommend wrong, didn't I.
ReplyDeleteWow Ibby your poem is really good. Especially when you talk in the voice of that snobby girl it really brings out the inner emotions of your poem and your tone and facial expressions throughout the video were just very strong. Great job!
ReplyDeleteMr. Buxton, this past week my membean has had trouble connecting.
ReplyDelete1.The shadow Children Series
ReplyDelete2. The Twilight Series
3. Journey to the Centre of the Earth
4. Milkweed
5. Things not Seen

The book "Tiff And Trout" would be a great book to put on the eReader
ReplyDeleteThough BREAK is a great book, some other great books are : Lirael, Sabriel, Abhorsen (All In A Series) They really make you think about different / alternative ways the story could curve. I really love these books.

ReplyDeleteI'd suggest the book, 'Kira Kira.' I cried so much while reading this novel. Another suggestion would be 'A Wrinkle in Time' and 'Ender's Game.' These are probably my three favorite books in the world!
